Web 1.0 is considered the static web. A website that offers you only what you can read - no interactivity. Web 2.0 is the interactive or creative web. You go to a website and use it to create something or work with someone differently. Example - Wordle, Tagxedo, Photopeach are all web 2.0 tools.
In this assignment students are going to explore several Web 2.0 tools, select one that particularly interests them, clear it with the teacher, then research and explore it well so they can then present it to the class.
